Support type

[edit]

What type of support you need

  • Laptop
  • Internet

Reason

[edit]

Why do you need this support (Internet and/or laptop)

Having a laptop will be helpful to edit more articles and create graphics and other documents because the laptop which I had was very old and not working now. I am badly in need of a new laptop but I am not in a position to buy a new one.

Future activities

[edit]

How will you use this in the next six months?

  1. Develop the existing articles with images, graphics and more contents.
  2. Create new articles that are very important and not found in my native language, ie, ml.wikipedia.
  3. Can translate more articles from English wiki to Indain Wikis such as ml.wikipedia, hi.wikipedia, ta.wikipedia.
  4. Can contribute to Commons by uploading hundreds of photos I have taken with my DSLR camera.

Endorsements

[edit]
  1. Support Support -- Sanu has been an avid contributor to Malayalam Community since several years. I have witnessed his dedication to the Wikimedia cause as far back as in 2013 at Alappuzha Wikisangamotsavam and as late as the Wikidata Training workshop at Kochi by Asaf Bartov. He is in need of extra facilitatory support from the Wikimedia. I strongly endorse this application. ViswaPrabhaവിശ്വപ്രഭtalk 19:42, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
